Ok fellow goons, I need some extremely high grade cuteness with heavy dosage of uplifting stories on the side cause right now I am dealing with some pretty heavy and horrible stuff, a family member just died, possibly a suicide, and I am getting hit pretty hard with both grief and guilt right now(was in the same house as them earlier today and didn't know this was happening, indeed just found out about it a couple minutes ago)

It is NOT your fault. It is NEVER your fault. I went through that two years ago almost, and had spent the day with her the day before. If there were any signs, they were too subtle for me to see, and it was probably the same for you. Depression is a bitch, and some people hide it entirely too well.

Have a dumb catte who is Too Big.

A stranger's sympathy might not do you a whole lot of good right now, but that sucks, I'm sorry, and I wish you the very best.

My folks just got a new puppy and she is very cute and sleepy.

The best part of the Parasitology course I took this last year was identifying the arthropods since the difference between that flea, the dog/cat flea (Ctenocephalides species), and the human-specific one (Pulex irritans) is that little bug mustache the dog/cat ones have! Well there may have been other differences but that was the one I fixated on :3:

gently caress dude, I'm so sorry. Depression is a loving beast, and it messes with your brain and thinking on every level. I'm 100% sure you did all you could.

Here's my big dumb fluff with snapchat filters, I hope they help. Snapcat filters.











Edit: When and if you feel up to it, try reading William Styron's Darkness Visible. He does a really good job of describing his experience with depression. I found it really helped describe my situation when I didn't have the words to. Maybe it'll help you understand that sometimes you can do everything, but it really is up to the person with depression and a single moment.

It really doesn't bother him when you give him hard pets? I've never met a cat that would tolerate having its head petted like that.

Yeah, you've got your rough play okay cats and your more gentle play cats, it just depends on the personality of the cat in question.

I've never known a cat that would take that sort of rough play as anything other than an invitation to commit ultraviolence. :catstare:

A lot of cats don't get bothered by that if they're accustomed to being pet in general. In fact, most cats I know love a good butt thumping and good firm scritches between the shoulder blades.
